What is the partial pressure of oxygen on Mt Everest if the atmospheric pressure on Mt Everest is one-third the atmospheric pressure at sea level?
It will be same as it is at sea level.
Why is the atmospheric pressure at the top of mt Everest 5 lbin squared much less than the atmospheric pressure here on earth 14.7 lbin squared?
The atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air on top of us. At the top of mount Everest, there is less air above the exhausted climber (because a lot of the air is below). Less air, less weight, less pressure.
What is the tallest mountain in Sequoia National Park?
Mt. Whitney
If cold air is heavier than warm air then why is it colder in the mountains?
You have forgotten one vital fact, cold air is heavier than hot air------At the same atmospheric pressure!!. That means that the cold air on Mt Everest is lighter than than the warm air 29000 ft below in the Ganges Delta.
Why did Mt Ruapehu erupt in 1995-6?
When tectonic plates shift and move toward each other and then rub together, pressure from molten rocks builds up and the magma rises to the top. The volcano erupts on the surface, and lava and gases are spewed out.
What is the partial pressure of oxygen on Mt Everest if the atmospheric pressure on Mt Everest is one-third the atmospheric pressure at sea level?
It will be same as it is at sea level.
What is atmospheric pressure on top of Mt Everest on a day when water boils there at a temperature of 70.0C?
31200 N/m2

What is atmosphoric pressure in mm hg in Colorado?
Depends on where you are in Colorado. There is no one atmospheric pressure, and it changes daily. It will be much less at the top of Mt. Evans (14,200 ft) than in Denver (5,280 ft)
Why would a camper near the top of mt Everest find that water boils at less than 100 degrees Celsius?
there is less atmospheric pressure than at sea level
When did Mt. Whitney last erupt?
Mt. Whitney has never erupted. It is not a volcano.
In healthy lungs what pressure is always lower than atmospheric pressure?
Gee, that's a good question. Hmm... i'd say the atmospheric pressure would be lower because when you travel to higher altitudes like, Mt Everest, the pressure in your lungs decrease causing them to deflate the lungs.......Its Intrapleural pressure
What place on the earth's surface has the lowest air pressure?
lol
Which is taller Mount McKinley or Mount Whitney?
Mt McKinley is 20,320 feet and Mt Whitney is 14,495 feet in altitude.
How Tall Mount Whitney?
Mt. Whitney is 14,491 ft. high
What location is Mt Whitney in?
It is in the DESERT.
What state is mt Whitney located?
California
